Articles 3D Earth Screensaver

3D Earth Screensaver is more than just a standard screensaver with some nice space imagery.

This screensaver makes you feel like you're flying through space. It presents you with an animated image of our planet as it floats in outer space, including also the Sun, the Moon and even the ISS orbiting around. Images are really beautiful: you can see reflections from sun beams on the surface of Earth, and also the city lights that begin to appear as darkness covers the planet.

3D Earth Screensaver includes two viewing modes: the demo mode, which simply acts as a screensaver and displays images, and the interactive mode, which enables you to actually interact with the screensaver. You can move from one point to another, zoom in or zoom out and learn more about our planet thanks to the screensaver's layers that include time zones, flags, borders and other details. Just one thing: don't expect to reach street level. This is not Google Earth.

On the downside, I didn't like having icons and text boxes displayed on the image in demo mode. I would have preferred to just have the gorgeous image of our blueish home: Earth.

It may not be as accurate as Google Earth, but 3D Earth Screensaver delivers beautiful images of our planet while you're away from your computer.

Pros

"Thetaplex PC's 3D Earth review"

Good screensaver. Beware that you have to reboot to fininsh the install and it's a bit of a pain for other reasons. Other reasons such as all the add-ons it bugs you to install into your browser and different changes to your PC (safe changes). I have to admit, since it's 100% free dealing with that is.. expected, right? Well, expect it everyone. Just choose not to install all the things it bugs you to install (EXTRA THINGS).. that's all everybody. My website: www.thetaplexpc.com

Pros

Really good animation. This screensaver gave my computer NO problems. Also, take note that interactive mode is not nessessary and that you can just use this program just like any other screensaver.. except for one thing&amp;gt; just have to click on EXIT &amp; not just move your mouse or hit a key to stop the screensaver.

Cons

Install is difficult and bothersome. Once you get it installed then another con would be you have to hit EXIT to stop it. Oh, has icons around the edges that can burn your screen in regular/demo mode. Now, that not a problem if you have your PC set up like mine and after a while the screen goes black/blank anyways.. so it's cool you know.
